This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 270 Jordan Buys the Bobcats for $3 Million One Year Early
After winning the Celtics, the Charlotte Bobcats, which had a bad start, finally increased their winning percentage back to 36% in the 50th game. Brandon Roy won three consecutive victories after his comeback, benefiting Based on the team's unbeaten record, Brandon Roy averaged 23 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. His three-point shooting percentage and overall shooting percentage were 50% and 55% respectively, and his true shooting percentage reached 58%. , The 24 points and 28 points in the two games against the Houston Rockets and the Boston Celtics are really high in gold content. You must know that these two teams are both championship-level teams.

In the first week of his comeback, he won the best of the week in the Eastern Conference. This is also the first time that Brandon Roy has won the best of the week. It is also the second player of the Charlotte Bobcats to win the best of the week after Zhou Lin.

Don’t underestimate the best player of the week. You must know that this is an NBA league full of talents. To win the best player of the week, you must first ensure that the team’s record is ideal, and it has good data performance and is efficient, and your competitors Not that strong, either the statistics are not as good as yours or the team performance is not as good as you, he is as strong as Yao Ming, and he has won the best of the week 4 times in the NBA. Of course, he is in the more competitive West, and Zhou Lin this season He has also won the best of the week once, and has a total of 4 best of the week in his career. In fact, he has already tied Yao Ming.

But what Zhou Lin never expected was that at this moment, the news that Brandon Roy would be traded for Aldridge spread like wildfire. The twin stars who were supposed to go to the Portland Trail Blazers once Fate forked and separated, but at this moment they quietly became the object of exchange.

Oden is finally back after a season of truce. Portland's management still has great expectations for Oden. Portland's insiders include Joel Puzbila, Shavrick Len Players such as Dolph, Batum, Outlaw, Webster and other players have also shown a certain potential. In the West, they already have the possibility of hitting the playoffs, but the problem this team faces now is, in the West Who will break the situation at the critical moment and become the one-shot player. As early as the summer three years ago, they had their eye on Brandon Roy, but unfortunately, they were cut off by the Charlotte people.

And another character whose fate has been changed is Adam Morrison. He missed the Charlotte Bobcats. He only stayed with the Boston Celtics for one season before going to the cold Minnesota, the Timberwolves team without a wolf is also a bad team, but it is not the same as the fate, the data of Adam Morrison who went to the Timberwolves has climbed a little bit, and he can contribute 14.5 points per game this season. , The three-point shooting rate is 35%, which can be regarded as a qualified second position. Of course, no one knows how much water this kind of data has. Responsibilities, he and Al Jefferson are the inside and outside core. Of course, the team also gave them enough space to brush.

The second option for the Portland Trail Blazers in order to hit the playoffs is Adam Morrison, but if it is just to get Adam Morrison, they are probably not willing to pay. For Aldridge with +18 data, at most he will only trade Outlaw or Webster. After all, a white shooter like Adam Morrison has limited his upper limit due to his poor physical talent, and his shooting ability After leaving the NCAA, he also tended to be mediocre, and naturally he could not reach the height of Larry Bird, one of his templates.

To be honest, when Zhou Lin heard the news, Zhou Lin was shocked. Brandon Roy was replaced by Aldridge. If this deal is reached, it may not be a bad thing for the Charlotte Bobcats , and Aldridge's style of play is very suitable for Zhou Lin. He can shoot from high positions and catch the ball down. Although Derich can't fly into the sky and escape from the ground, his skillful style of play makes his body more durable, and he has not suffered serious injuries during his career.

But emotionally, Zhou Lin is unwilling. He likes Brandon Roy's low-key personality, and his killer qualities at critical moments, which makes Zhou Lin feel that Brandon Roy may be his partner in the future. One of the most comfortable backcourt partners.

Therefore, if the management of the Bobcats came to ask Zhou Lin for his opinion, Zhou Lin would definitely hold an objection.

In fact, after the Trail Blazers’ general manager’s office called to inquire about the possibility of a trade, the management of the Bobcats also asked Brandon Roy for his personal opinion. All players can be traded by the team, but there are very few examples in history of players being traded to an unfamiliar team without the consent of the player. After all, if you trade an unwilling player , it is very likely that there will be a situation where the work is not working hard, which can be regarded as cheating the opposing team by the way.

After Brandon Roy finished talking with the management, he called Zhou Lin. Their homes were not far away, and Zhou Lin immediately drove to Brandon Roy's house.

In fact, Brandon Roy was a little moved.

It is conceivable that in the Charlotte Bobcats, Brandon Roy is always the second in command, unless the management of the Charlotte Bobcats has a brain twitch and sells Zhou Lin, otherwise, in the future For many years, Zhou Linhui has been the absolute core of the Charlotte Bobcats.

Another point is that the Charlotte Bobcats are a small ball market. They should not be able to compare with the Portland Trail Blazers in terms of salary or endorsement advertisements, and their contract year is the same as Zhou Lin's. In the order of the appointment, I will definitely be ranked after Zhou Lin.

After all, Brandon Roy has a complete management team, and in many cases, money will become a huge factor.

"Dad, Uncle Zhou is here..."

Little Roy, who walked like a little penguin, followed his mother to open the door. Brandon Roy was already waiting for him on the sofa.

"I'm a little confused."

From the perspective of economic conditions and from the future, Brandon Roy will definitely choose to go to the Portland Trail Blazers, but from the emotional level, Brandon Roy is unwilling to leave the Charlotte Bobcats , especially if he left, he felt that it would be difficult for him to face Zhou Lin. After all, Zhou Lin had always been the one who supported him the most in the Trail Blazers.

In the first two years of his career, he was never the one not for sale. Zhou Lin was the only one not for sale on the team, but Brandon Roy also knew that if it wasn't for Zhou Lin's insistence several times, he might have been traded away. up.

Last year, I was injured in a key game of the playoffs. When the team needed me the most, Zhou Lin was also the one who cared about me the most. When I learned that I was going to have surgery to return early, Zhou Lin supported me. Otherwise, his meniscus would have been gone long ago, and he knew very well the importance of the meniscus to him. Zhou Lin said he would wait for him, so he waited for 8 months. During the trading window, it was Zhou Lin again. He advocated waiting for his comeback and not making deals, but Zhou Lin made sacrifices at the first moment of his comeback and gave up a lot of ball rights to himself, so that he played these three wonderful games and won in one fell swoop. Zhou Best, if he leaves Charlotte now, it doesn't mean he has abandoned his friendship with Zhou Lin.

Therefore, Brandon Roy's confusion is quite normal.

"I respect your choice, Brandon." Zhou Lin looked into Brandon Roy's eyes and said, "But from my personal point of view, I prefer you to stay in Charlotte, because maybe you go Portland can get more, but I have to admit that everything you go to Portland is unpredictable. The champion Greg has not played for a season, and the effect brought out this season Very average, I always think he should be a fragile glass man, more than 99% of his possibilities will not be your best partner, living in the strong and powerful west, maybe you have been very good for many years. It’s hard to reach the playoffs, let alone the championship, we still need to prove ourselves.”

Brandon Roy looked at Zhou Lin and said, "This is also one of my considerations, but in the east... can we go further?"

Zhou Lin said with certainty: "Brother, last year we reached the Eastern Conference semifinals without you. As long as you can stay healthy, we will have the possibility of taking another step forward. This season we have got the inside It is a great supplement, the staff is much more sufficient than last year, and the record in the same period is also higher than last year, and it is worth mentioning that you and I are stronger than last year, I really can't imagine, there is a tacit understanding than us In the three years in the NBA, we have been together...so, stay!"

As long as Brandon Roy is not injured, the Charlotte Bobcats will be a little less foolish. Even if the lineup is maintained, Zhou Lin feels that there is a chance to prove the team.

"If you're thinking about future contracts... I'd rather not talk to the team about a contract extension, at least not before you."

This summer, the Charlotte Bobcats need to negotiate contracts with three important players. By then, Raymond Felton will have played for four years. Although the team has the bird rights to match the contract extension, the Charlotte Bobcats The management obviously wanted to wait for Raymond Felton to drop in price, and the car accident in the contract year also caused Felton's value to plummet. In addition, Zhou Lin temporarily transformed into a point guard. Start at a lower price than last summer. Of course, there may be some teams that need point guards who may come to snatch him, but if there is a premium, the Charlotte Bobcats may not follow. The other two players are both 3+1 rookies, Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy.

Both players are players that the Charlotte Bobcats want to keep, but Zhou Lin is definitely the first pick, and Brandon Roy is the second pick. If Zhou Lin does not renew his contract in advance, Then Brandon Roy must be the most important choice for the Charlotte Bobcats, of course, the premise is that Brandon Roy is now staying in Charlotte.

If Zhou Lin really did this, he would offend the management of the Charlotte Bobcats a bit, but if he did that, the benefits to Brandon Roy would be self-evident.

"I don't need you to do this." Brandon Roy said: "My brother, if this is the case, I still want to stay by your side, remember to pass me more balls."

"Aren't I doing this? You are my most trusted teammate." Zhou Lin smiled and said, "I think we will be the best duo in the league. I don't care who is Jordan or who is Pippen." , My only thought is to get that O'Brien Trophy, and the rest will be discussed after I get that trophy."

"I also think, go for the championship!"

Brandon Roy nodded and said, it is not easy to know yourself. Zhou Lin can say such a thing, which means that Zhou Lin really wants to fight side by side with him, and Brandon Roy also feels that he hastily agreed to go there Portland is a very risky thing. I have just returned from injury. It may be more beneficial for me to stay in my familiar comfort zone. As for who is the No.1 of the team, Zhou Lin doesn’t care. Why bother.

Brandon Roy's answer is, I like the Charlotte Bobcats team very much, and I also like my teammates, so I don't like to go to the strange Portland Trail Blazers, if you choose to believe me If so, Zhou Lin and I will bring an O'Brien Cup belonging to the Bobcats to the city.

What Brandon Roy can see now is that the potential and development momentum are higher than that of Aldridge. Both are rookies in 06. Now the transaction value is almost equal. Lineup optimization will help to a certain extent, but in the case of Brandon Roy's clear rejection, the Charlotte Bobcats will never do things against the wishes of the players, let alone Brandon Roy's market If you see a rise, you may be able to exchange for a better bargaining chip in the future if you stay.

And in the past few days, another major event broke out for the Charlotte Bobcats.

The small owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, Michael Jordan, acquired all the equity of the big boss Johnson in the Charlotte Bobcats, and the price was 3 million U.S. dollars, which was roughly the same as the cost of Johnson’s establishment of the Charlotte Bobcats. It was one year earlier than Michael Jordan’s acquisition of the Charlotte Bobcats on the historical line. It should have been in February 1, and the price at that time was 2010 million U.S. dollars, and Michael Jordan spent 2 million more dollars.

But what about Michael Jordan?

Of course not bad.

This Charlotte Bobcats team is much better than the Charlotte Bobcats team that was still struggling in the lottery at the same stage in history. In addition to the many benefits brought by the team's record, there is Zhou Lin, a natural The appearance of teams with Chinese traffic is improving year by year, and the bonus that the Houston Rockets can enjoy, the Charlotte Bobcats will definitely be able to enjoy.
